The Sandbag Swing is done like the kettlebell swing, but with a slightly wider stance. In this video Chip Conrad from Body Tribe demonstrates the Sandbag Swing and then moves seamlessly to the snatch and squat for some real fun.

The Halfmoon Snatch is a dynamic way to change up the snatch. By driving and rotating simultaneously the sandbag transfers from one side to the other while going overhead. This is great for building rotational power.

If you’re wanting to build incredible strength in your posterior chain, no sandbag exercise is better than the deadlift. In addition to building strength and muscle, the deadlift is an important exercise for bulletproofing your back from injury.

The Sandbag Squat is a great tool that poses endless versatility and variety. Due to their constantly shifting load and awkwardness they build powerful strength from all different positions. Sandbags are also one of the more brutal training modalities out there and teach mental toughness in addition to physical toughness.
